Have you heard of fluffy coffee? It’s actually called dalgona coffee and is all the rage right now. Dalgona is whipped coffee that is served over milk. It’s the new hot (or cold) coffee trend in town. Let me show you how to make this DIY coffee drink at home in about 5 minutes.

I will admit that whenever there is a new coffee trend or flavor I am one of the first ones to try it. I have to know if it’s as amazing as everyone on social media is saying it is. Plus, I just love a good coffee.

When this fluffy coffee started to show up, I knew I had to try it. Since I am an avid coffee drinker, I already had all the ingredients in my kitchen.

In fact, I bet you have most of the ingredients on hand too. You are a few steps away from making your own fluffy (or floofy) coffee at home.

What is dalgona coffee?

Dalgona has Indian origins and combines equal parts instant coffee, sugar and water together. You whip together the mixture until it becomes creamy and yes, a little bit fluffy. The fluffy coffee is then scooped on top of milk, either hot or iced.

This dalgona recipe also goes by whipped coffee, Tiktok coffee, and even beaten coffee. It’s pretty popular across social media right now and probably has a few other names too.

Instant coffee – You can use any type of instant coffee you’d like to make fluffy coffee. I like Nescafe Instant Coffee but you can use whatever instant coffee you’d like. Death Wish is an instant coffee that claims to be the world’s strongest coffee, so it may be fun to try!

Can I use regular brewed coffee?
No, it doesn’t whip up like instant coffee does. You can use instant espresso if you’d like but not regular coffee.

Sugar – Any sugar you want will work in this recipe. Regular white sugar, raw sugar or even coconut sugar. Just make sure to use a granulated sugar.
